No idea unless I know how much lemonade is used.

To determine how much punch the recipe will make, you need to know the total volume of all the ingredients combined.
The recipe calls for 1/3 cup of soda and 3/4 cup of fruit punch. Let's add these together:
1/3 cup + 3/4 cup
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 4 is 12. So, we can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:
1/3 cup = 4/12 cup
3/4 cup = 9/12 cup
Now, we can add the fractions:
4/12 cup + 9/12 cup
Adding the numerators:
4 + 9 = 13
The resulting fraction is 13/12 cup. However, since we cannot have a fractional unit of cup, we need to convert this fraction into a mixed number.
To do this, we divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (12):
13 รท 12 = 1 with a remainder of 1
So, the fraction 13/12 can be written as 1 + 1/12.
Therefore, the recipe will make 1 and 1/12 cups of punch.
